Do you ever think about your life and certain events that affected your life? I have quite often. When I was very young my half sister was very mean to me. The last straw that threw me so far into my shell was the day she told me and my brother that our mom was dead. Of course, Mom was alive and well, but that did not rid me of my trauma.
In 'The Beginning of Knowledge,' I used that experience to set the stage for Jessi's personality. From that experience, I had difficulty trusting a lot of people. Writing about that lack of trust and extreme shyness into Jessi’s personality that came naturally. And it created a perfect stepping stone for the growth of the character.
I find using personal experiences enhance my connection to my stories. Happy writing, ya'll.
